A large black stone Shivalinga stands on a raised platform in the middle of a still rectangular pool, with a rainbow-coloured garland arch behind it on a tiered red-brick stadium. Dark stone nandi-style sculpture in the foreground, pale steps and white railings lead to the water. Several people in orange and saffron robes are visible on the steps and seating at left, too small to identify. A tall red building stands in the background. Mist hangs over the scene.

A garland of multicoloured flowers is draped over the top of the lingam. Rows of empty red-tiered stone seating surround the water, and a red multi-storey building stands behind. Several saffron-robed monks stand on the stepped walkway and railings at the left and upper left, with a figure in white at the top.
